My process to obtain root access:

1) connect phone to your mac via usb cable

2) In Finder extract "Getroot.zip" on Desktop for exemple

you should have a Getroot directory now with files inside (su, busybox...)

3) Copy/Paste this "Getroot" directory on root of your sdcard

4) Eject sdcard in Finder

5) push down notification bar on Defy and click "USB..." item

6) Select "none"

7) Check in Defy Settings that "Applications->Developpement->USB debugging" is on

8) On Mac launch Terminal

9) type "adb shell", you should have a "$" prompt

10) type "cd /sdcard/Getroot/"

11) type "sh getroot.sh"

You'll be eject from adb shell, it's normal

12) type again "adb shell", prompt should be "#" now, that mean root privilege !

13) type "cd /sdcard/Getroot/"

14) type "sh copy_rootfile.sh", this copy root file, recovery application and remount script*

15) type "reboot" to reboot phone

16) after reboot don't forget to push down notification bar on Defy and click "USB..." item of your choice

17) Done ;)

Take care that "Settings->Applications->Developpement->USB debugging" mustbe off to boot in recovery mode. In other way you'll get a black screen :eek:

Hope I don't make mistake during zipping and writing process !

-----------------------------------------------------

* remount script to use from adb shell or any terminal:

- type "remount rw" to mount /system read-write

- type "remount ro" to mount /system read-only

- type "remount sdcard" to mount /sdcard when usb cable is plug to PC
[Defy General] billychan123:
I am kind of stuck, What do u mean by "USB..." for step 5? Is it usb connection? and for step 6 is it "charge only" for "none"?

I typed "adb shell" in terminal and it was like "command not found".

What should I do now? Btw, thanks for helping:)
[Defy General] MisterWB:
Right, step 5 is "USB Connexion"

and step 6 "Charge only", text may change with language and rom version.

Regarding "adb" it's part of Android SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

So you have to download full SDK kit and install it....

...or use adb executable for mac attached below :D

On my mac I putted it into /usr/bin

1) In Finder put adb.zip into Download directory

2) In Finder Download directory, extract adb.zip, you'll get an "adb" file

3) Open Terminal

4) Go into Download directory

cd ~/Download

5) Copy adb file into /usr/bin with executable permissions

sudo cp adb /usr/bin/ -> and type your session's password

sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/adb -> and type your session's password

next you can use "adb shell" like any unix command

Keep me inform :)

[A] How to Root Defy Android OS 2.1 on mac

I tried rooting the defy with z4root and SuperOneClick (using Mono to run it on a mac).

It appears that the z4root no longer works on later firmware updates for the defy, which others confirmed on another forum. For me it got stuck trying to run exploits. Similarly, SuperOneClick hung up during the "waiting for device" phase. :mad:

This other thread on xda did work and was super easy to do and I recommend it:

[ROOT] G2x Easy Root for Mac and Linux

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048309

:)

I checked it with "Root Checker Basic" from app store and it is indeed rooted.
[Defy General] thallat:
I followed the simple directions in the thread recommended by beefinit. The root.command script that comes with the G2xRootMacLinux_v0.5.zip package appears to have successfully rooted my Defy. The script is designed for a Tmobile LG G2x, but is based on SuperOneClick 1.8, so the fact that is seems to work for the Defy is not that surprising.

Here is the terminal log from when I ran the script:

[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
Thinking about trying the inspire again, and I'm past my 30 days with the atrix. Its a fine phone with a huge battery and nice screen. Anyone want to give one a try let me know. I have an incipio feather case ill trade with it. Both case and phone are in mint condition. Inspire must also be in mint condition.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acmys:
...and do we just switch the phones and keep our SIM cards?

That won't create a problem with AT&T&T-Mobile?
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
I guess. Shouldn't be a problem, both devices are on some sort of smartphone data plan... it's not like one is an iphone data plan and the other is just smartphone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acmys:
And why are you interested in an Inspire? Bigger screen? Better camera? Something else?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jerseykirby:
Yes, what interests you in this whole deal? I am intrigued in this trade possibly and wanna make sure nothing is fishy here hahaha.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
Haha there's nothing fishy, trust me. Truth is I've already owned an inspire. I love sense, and I basically got rid of it because of the battery life. I believe with the current roms and rocking green power premium, I could deal with it, and I want it back.

I'm a 23 year old college student, would only trade face to face, and would certainly let whoever demo the atrix to make sure its all good. I take exceptional care of all of my possessions. I'm the kind of dude that would lose it if so much a scratch happened on my phone.

They are both great phones, and I'm probable just being indecisive.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jerseykirby:
Well I was actually interested in the Atrix myself but am in the same boat as you hahaha. Well if you make up your mind pm me and maybe we can make a deal on the trade.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
is the condition of your phone perfect?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jerseykirby:
Yep I'm the same when it comes to my phone. I treat it as I would my wife.............Lmao.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Verysafety:
If gas wasn't retardedly priced, I'd drive up to trade you lol. I'd do a store exchange to give you literally a mint phone , ha
[HTC Inspire 4G] neurodave:
I'm located in Jersey City, NJ. I could entertain the idea of trading. My Inspire is rooted running Android Revolution 4G, with the Lee kernel (O/C to 1.8Ghz) and with the updated radio and build.prop settings. Phone is about 2 weeks old...
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
Check your pms
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
Bump. Check pm's.
[HTC Inspire 4G] neurodave:
No PM on my end. Guess you're not interested? :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Noodles5666:
Where are you located?
[HTC Inspire 4G] CB620:
Pm sent. Very interested
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
After thinking this through, I can't justify a trade without any sort of money thrown in to the deal. Especially considering I'm going to have to buy another case for the inspire.

I'm also sketched about the battery. Its nice getting 36 hours. Make me an offer if you're really interested.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
Or on the other hand, could anyone do a store exchange for a brand new one? That would sweeten the deal as well
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
Still entertaining offers...neurodave check your pms.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Difference is atrix has its bootloader locked meaning u have to wait on every update via IT'S. It may be dual core but nothing on phone takes advantage of the processor speed. My inspire runs at a great rate and for those quadrant lovers,mine hits 32000 compared to atrix's 2700? If u love atrix,go got it. I returned mine and motoblur is flipping pathetic. Inspire ALL THE WAY!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
There are pros and cons to both devices. Thanks for your post bro.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
32000? I'm guessing thats a typo?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kizzmiazz:
Your right 100% lol . The inspire is all pro and the Atrix is 100% con . Sorry but when I bought my Inspire a month ago I swore I would try both phones in the Thirty days. Almost didn't do it mainly cause I can't find anything wrong with inspire. But last week went and picked up an Atrix to try. I said I would give it a couple days but only lasted till that night. I know people say that we need to wait for stuff to be made for the dual core processers to show there stuff and I understand that , but common the phone should at least perform on par with the inspire. The Atrix is slow, laggy and just my personal opinion doesn't look nearly as good as the inspire. Motoblur sucks but I really don't use any of the companies stock launchers, I'm a launcher pro addict, saying that, again the atrix lagged to hell with launcher pro . Now I'm a firm believer that most phone companies phones suck with out the devs from xda and that the Atrix could be an awesome phone if the devs were able to work there magic with it but since motorola has decided to be pricks and make it so the real developers can work on there phone and make it the way it should be , well the Atrix is just gonna continue to suck. So I ended up going back and getting my money back ( got my money back so I could re purchase and have another thirty days , little trick I learned to have more time ) and then went and got my Inspire back. I know its all personal preffrence and that is just mine. I am not an HTC fan boy or Inspire fan boy . I am actually just a cell phone junkie and have to have the latest and greatest. I always end up paying full price since my contract upgrade is always two years away lol. Actually made sure I had another thirty days just incase the Samsung infuse comes out soon lol but unless Motorola decides to get there head out of there arse and unlock the damn bootloader the Atrix will never be what it should be.

And to top it off. The main hope for the Atrix to live , again my personal opinion , died when DG went and got an HTC Inspire :) .

This says it all. Both are great devices, but I'd prefer any HTC phone over motoblur :).
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
Why are you guys even posting in this thread if you're not interested? This isn't a discussion, the thread is asking anyone if they'd like to trade. Just because you're a fanboy either way, go junk up another thread. You're opinion isn't needed.

And I haven't run motoblur for one minute on my phone...
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Ur misleading these ppl to believe ur atrix is actually to par with the inspire. Cuz the noobs (no pun intended) lack the knowledge that the advanced user has. "Oh yay the atrix rocks,beats the inspire". Well u need to tell them that u can't do ANYTHING with the flipping device. Go on Craigslist and sell,I'm sure it Will sell.fast.
[HTC Inspire 4G] arajay:
Where are the mods? Mr clown this should be in marketplace...

Having said that, get your piece of sh!t atrix out of my inspire forum.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kizzmiazz:
Exactly like last poster said. Don't get mad ast us for posting our thoughts saying this is not a discussion and go post some where else lol. You posted in the wrong place so deal with it . There its actually a whole forum for just what you want to do up at the top.

So quit getting mad at us cause your upset that you have a piece of crap and now want something else. Again like poster above , just incase you find a sucker , they need to know the facts.

I'm not misleading anyone. I am not blowing smoke up either devices ass. People don't need to be "warned". I get this is the inspire board, but come on, you have such a hard on for your device you need to post in my thread when you're not contributing ****? Yeah, the bootloader is locked... yeah blur sucks, but the setup I'm running on my phone flies, the volume in speaker and earpiece are loud and clear as hell, I can hear my notifications, and I charge my phone once every two days with heavy use. These three main points are precisely why I got rid of my first inspire.

So like I said, there are pros and cons to each phone. This thread is an open discussion for anyone that wants to try one out and either doesn't feel like shelling out the dough, or are past the return period... whatever. This is not a discussion of how excited your phone makes you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] acPIZZA:
You guys don't get it. Of course I posted on the inspire forums... I was looking to trade for one. I wouldn't put this on the incredible forums if I'm looking for an inspire.

You guys are flat out retards. You say the atrix is a piece of crap, go on the attic boards. Sure there aren't any r0mz yet, but there also aren't 6 threads about people that can't get a GPS lock. Stop being fanboys and make your own thread.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] perknite:
Anyone here try setcpu on your Galaxy S 4G?

I'm sure there is some "new and improved software" reason to not need it, but I figured I would try it to see if I could improve battery life in some way.

I'm still tinkering with the settings, but I think I have noticed a slight improvement. If you try it, don't set your screen-off speed to any lower than 400mhz. If you do your phone will slow to an unimaginable crawl, sometimes only to be recovered from with a reboot/battery pull.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Success100:
You can use it but until there are custom kernels that allow you to underclock or overclock its gonna be a lost cause imo. At this point its only good for changing governors and possibly screen off profiles and things like that

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] heartspains88:
It already hauls once I removed bloatware, my system is pretty "bare bone" now, and it's FAASSSTTT.

That being said, one of the main reasons I upgraded to this phone from my modded HTC HD2 was the battery life was horrible on that phone (comparible to an evo 4g as per many side by side tests with a friend who had a new one).

Battery on this phone is GARBAGE, basically the SAME battery life, maybe only slightly better if at all....

I thought technology was supposed to be improving. I mean I abuse the phone, It's my sole entertainment while I'm at work (I work at a call center). I'm doing things on it 24/7.

But I figured it would perform better than a non-native android phone, modded to run android, that's two years old.. (htc hd2)

You can overclock without overclock kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
I just use setcpu to disable auto scaling..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sgyee:
TegraK seems to work. It's an "on demand, on the fly" patch that isn't persistent.

I see improvements in benchmarks and reads/writes. So, it seems to work. Every time you reboot though, you have to reset it.

Hi guys. I have a Vibrant with Axura 2.3.1 currently installed and I want to go to Trigger 2.8.1. Are the Axura and Trigger voodoo kernels compatible where I can just flash over Axura without disabling voodoo first or should I be Odin-ing back to stock first and then flash Trigger.

My understanding is that if you are going from one to another you do not have to disable it.

Hello everybody,

I have flashed a DAF rom (prj Clean Desire v0.3.2) and I want to install the "notification.widgets_signed.zip" addon. The installation guide is saying that I have to re-boot in MAGLDR, go to AD Recovery and select "install zip from sdcard->choose zip from sdcard", but having installed a DAF rom, I don't have CWM anymore, so I receive the error: "no boot source":mad:. Is there any other way to install this addon on my current rom?

Anyone know of any kernels or options for 2.2.1 to have an awesome bass boost option, similar to CM7? I love CM7 but want to wait for more fixes until a daily driver so an optimized 2.2.1 is perfectly fine with me.

I liked a scalable menue- light, moderate or heavy or something of the like.

Thanks all!
[Captivate General] krips2003:
If you are running custom rom, try Voodoo control app from supercurio if you haven't tried already. I'm sure you won't disappointed. Also, what music app you are using? If it's stock, you won't get great sound, try Power Amp from the market.

I hope that helps you. :)
[Captivate General] byteme2008:
I agree regarding Power Amp. Good equalizer and bass & treble options.
[Captivate General] Fiin:
Yah, I am running Power Amp off the eXistZ Cappy Kernel #7, and it helps the sound/bass out alot.

If your going from stock to this start low on yer volume.. I forgot and almost blew my ears apart :)
[Captivate General] krips2003:
Add voodoo sound to it and your music will be on drug and you too, ;-)
[Captivate General] Fiin:
Yep its on there :D The existz cappy kernel 7 is the fisrt voodoo kernel I got to work on my i896. What a difference.
[Captivate General] wash23:
+1

Much more intuitive than stock app.
[Captivate General] Cezar`:
If you run a custom rom, the kernel will most likely have voodoo sound patch included.

All you need to do is install Galaxy tuner from the market. That will let you customize varios parameters of your phone including bass boost and 3D sound.

I just ordered a G-Tab from Woot with the hopes of running Quickbooks on it, but only to update customers and print invoices on the job. Then when I get back to the office, I'd like to transfer the updates back to the main computer. So I have a couple questions to start:

1: Can I even put Quickbooks on my G-Tab (which I'm planning on rooting as soon as I receive it)?

2: If I can put it on the Tab, can I edit and print invoices, add customer info and then transfer it back to the main program?

I'm extremely new at this, just starting a business so I have no Quickbooks or G-Tab knowledge so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much in advance!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Not to state the obvious, but the Tablet runs Android. Not Windows.

I don't know of any Android version of QB.

If you do the QB online stuff, you *might* be able to interact via the web version?

It let's you access your office computer from your gTab and run stuff on it like you're in front of your computer. I use it all the time when I have to travel for business.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] it2steve:
Another option... If you Google Intuit Billing Manager, they have an online FREE invoicing program. I use it quite a bit and it does work from the tab (or phone even).

You can export and import customer data to make the setup pretty easy. Again, this is just a quick way to get an invoice out and will also email the invoice real time when you are done sending a copy to yourself and your customer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
OK so if you can get into download? If you can then its a matter of getting Odin to see the phone - which really means getting windows to recognize the phone. This would mean that odin does not light up in one of the com ports.

If this assumption is right, make you have the latest drivers (see other posts - I had a link in another post so if you look for my posts you'll find it), reinstall kies (but do not have it open), clean the usb port/cable on the phone and computer with alcohol just to be sure (that was my old issue and it takes forever to troubleshoot), then put into download with jig (I assume you start with a battery pull?). If you've done the kies/drivers thing (good chance if your asking on this forum - just try the cleaning).

You can also try various different usb ports - the theory is the one at the back of a desktop work best but my laptop ones seem fine (now - see cleaning above).

I know this is not that step by step it sounds like your trouble is the connection not the steps as you have already attepted the flash.

If still not working , try to vary the connect order (odin first, then connect or reverse etc).

From there follow a good odin guide and flash a full stock firmware to start (presumably your official one).

I believe you are only truly dead when you cannot get to download mode.

Good luck!
